Directorate of Distance Education

       The Directorate of Distance Education of this University was established in 1997 with four programmes namely; MBA, PGDCA, BBA & CIC. Since then a lot of progress has been made in terms of number of programmes, number of students enrolled, production of quality Self-Learning Material (SLM) etc. Not only the new programmes were added, but some of the Programmes were replaced by the new ones so as to make them highly job-oriented and enable the students to pursue them while being in job and self-employment. At present, 3 undergraduate, 06 post-graduate programmes and 05 Diploma/Certificate Programmes in Open and Distance Learning Mode are being offered and the learning is imparted directly by the Directorate. For the admitted students, the directorate organizes Personal Contact Programmes (PCPs) during which the teachers of parent departments and the programme co-coordinators hold classes and satisfy the queries of the students. There is also well equipped Computer Lab for students with internet connection. The study material has been prepared by the Directorate with the association of specialists in the respective areas and the same is updated as and when the changes are brought about in the programme curriculum as per needs of the market. In order to have the interest of the students closely watched, the Directorate has appointed teachers/programme coordinators in the respective disciplines for each programme. Notwithstanding the moderate amount of fee charged for each programme, the students have the facility to pay the same in half yearly installments so that the students with limited financial resources can also afford to acquire quality education. In addition to it, the students of distance education get the benefit of Post Matric Scholarship (PMS) released by the Government of Haryana. From the session 2015-16 onwards, the on-line admission process was adopted to facilitate the student spread all over India and abroad. The Directorate is at present offering 16 job oriented programmes including MBA and B.Com (Online Mode) entitled by DEB (UGC) and approved by the University in Open and Distance Learning Mode.
